Galley Girl Cooks ~ Captain Joe’s Wet n’ Wild Chicken

Ahoy Galley Gourmets! Summer is here and it is time to kick up a wake of fun, family and friends on our fantastic Great Lakes! We are working hard here at our end of Lake Erie to do just that – making memories and friends that will last a lifetime.

We started our season out with a Great Lakes wedding! Our C-Dock mate’s amazingly beautiful daughter Brandi had always dreamed of getting married on a yacht; and that dream came true! So cool! The dockside was abuzz about the big day. All plans were made, checked, rechecked, and tweaked until the day finally came. Perfection!

While the bride and her maid of honor dressed on her parents' boat, the guests and very handsome groom awaited dockside and on the beautiful Rowe Boat to arrive. When the time came, bride and father disembarked the family boat with the procession following down the dockside, father presenting the bride to her groom. The Rowe Boat then departed for the wedding ceremony afloat. Of course, a flotilla flowed to cheer the happy couple on. The bride was stunningly beautiful and her Tony beamed the whole day. A dream comes true. Now, that is living life to the fullest.

I’d say that was putting our Great Lakes to perfect use! Thank you, Brandi and Tony, for making the summer unforgettable. May your days be filled with health, blessings and many days on the water.

Are the rest of you having fun at your dockside and while cruising yet? I do hope so. So many sunrises and sunsets to frame your day on the lake ~ don’t miss an opportunity to make a memory today!

Oops … a whole story with no mention of good eats … (Ok, that happened at the awesome reception! Good eats and drinks; and of course wedding dancing!) Great memories always include great food!
